welcome to
Reynoldstown.
Welcome to Reynoldstown Civic Improvement League (RCIL)
RCIL is a volunteer-run organization comprised of residents. RCIL’s mission is to foster a neighborhood that embraces, empowers, and connects our diverse community while maintaining a welcoming and inclusive neighborhood and advocating on behalf of residents regarding government issues.
OUR HISTORY
One of the first African-American neighborhoods to develop in Atlanta, Reynoldstown began as an area to which former enslaved persons migrated after the Civil War. Established in 1870, Reynoldstown was named in honor of Madison Reynolds, a prominent and successful landowner who operated a store on Wylie Street. In 1909, Reynoldstown became officially annexed to the city of Atlanta.
